With that said, Pixel devices have always been known to be among the most active players in custom development, and this time around, things would be no different either. Be it for custom ROMs, custom kernels, or gaining administrative access by rooting your device via Magisk, the possibilities stand endless. However, this is just one side of the coin. Carrying out these tweaks could prove to be risky and there’s always a risk of things going south. Fortunately, when it comes to Pixel devices, you could easily fix soft brick or bootloop it by flashing the firmware via Fastboot. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. So without further ado, let’s get started with the steps to unbrick your Pixel 7/Pro devices via Fastboot Commands.
How to Unbrick Pixel 7/Pro via Fastboot [2 Methods]
The below instructions are listed under separate sections for ease of understanding. Make sure to follow the same sequence as mentioned. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
STEP 1: Install Android SDK
First and foremost, you will have to install the Android SDK Platform Tools on your PC. This is the official ADB and Fastboot binary provided by Google and is the only recommended one. So download it and then extract it to any convenient location on your PC. Doing so will give you the platform-tools folder, which will be used throughout this guide.
STEP 2: Download Pixel 7/Pro Firmware
STEP 3: Boot Bricked Pixel 7/Pro to Fastboot Mode
You will now have to boot your device to the Fastboot Mode. In most cases, as soon as the device is soft-bricked it automatically gets booted to Fastboot. However, if your device is stuck in a bootloop, then let it drain the battery so that the device gets powered off. Then connect your device to the charger and as soon as you do so, press and hold the Power and Volume Down keys. Your device will be booted to Fastboot.
Now, we are done with the prerequisites and could start the process to unbrick your Pixel 7/Pro. Regarding this, there are two different methods that you could opt for- Fastboot Script or Fastboot Command. In the Script method, the flash-all batch file will flash all the firmware files to their respective partitions. On the other hand, in the Commands method, we will be manually flashing each file to its respective partitions. We have explained both these methods below, you may refer to the one that is in sync with your requirement.
STEP 4A: Unbrick Pixel 7/Pro via Fastboot Script
You will first have to decide whether or not you want to format your device. If you are unbricking your device, fixing bootloop, or performing an OS upgrade [such as from Android 13 to Android 14], then a reset is a must. On the other hand, if you are flashing the same OS version firmware, then you might skip the formatting [though we would still recommend it]. So depending on your need, you may refer to the required section.
